COMMUNITY ACTION RENTAL HOUSING

Did you know that the accepted standard of affordability is having to pay no more than 30% of your income on rent? Consider this: Fair Market Rent on a 2-bedroom home in Shawnee County, KS is $713/month. In order to afford this unit and pay no more than 30%, an individual would need to make $13.71 per hour, or $28,520 per year.

Community Action has developed rental housing through programs such as the HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME), Federal Home Loan Bank’s Affordable Housing Program (AHP) and the Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program that provides below-market rents, so individuals and families who don’t have high incomes are able to afford rent, and still have money for things such as food, utilities, clothing and transportation.

WHAT YOU’LL GET
